We begin with descriptions of the families in each of the
four counties; then, show the lineages for some of the families, and then at the end is the support data upon
which the narratives and family groups are based.In addition, we are preparing a separate nffile
that contains all the PA census records for Todd 1790-1850:

York

There were three Todd families in early YorkCounty:

Robert
Todd b abt 1736 md Hannah Wierman 1760 died 1767.Robert was son of John Todd d 1775 of
New London, Chester Co, PA.John
sold land in York Co to his son Robert.Robert Jr was in the 1790
census for York Co, then bought land in 1794 in Rostraver Twp,
Westmoreland Co.

James
Todd arrived in Newbury Twp, York Co prior to 1753 and died there in
1767.His wife Hannah remarried to
James Martin by 1769.Based on inferences
from his estate record, he appears to have been born abt 1693 or before,
married sometime after 1721 to Ann Cain.He may well be the James Todd who arrived in Chester Co by 1714,
bought land in 1723 on “White Clay Creek below New Garden” adjacent to
John Cain, and left Chester Co after 1750.

It is possible thatWilliam went to Maryland
since his nephew and niece went there or he may have moved to western PA.There is a William in Cecil Co, Maryland, but he married
Elizabeth Shaw in 1790.There is a James
Todd who died in Kennett, Chester Co in 1820 (estate administered by a William
Todd) who has not been identified, but assumed to not be son of James d 1772 of
East Nottingham, Chester Co.

There are two James Todds in the 1850 census as being born
in PA in the 1794-1802 period:

James ToddGreen, Clark, OHabt 1795Pennsylvania

James ToddLiberty, Crawford, OHabt
1796Pennsylvania

The Clark Co OH James was from Washington Co, PA; the other
James has not been identified.

Henry
Todd (abt 1745-1808)

Henry appears in York
co in a 1778 militia list from Chanceford Twp and a 1783 tax list in Fawn
Twp.According to baptismal records, he and his
wife Mary lived in Chanceford 1774-1779 and then Fawn Twp 1781 to 1786.He does not appear in the 1790 census and a
biography of his son James b 1786 in a published history indicates that James
was orphaned at an early age, suggesting that Henry and his wife Mary died
prior to 1790.He may be the Henry who
lived in West Fallowfield Twp, Chester Co in 1771.

This appears to be a different Henry Todd than the one who
appears in 1778-1782 Cumberland Co tax list, and later in 1790 in FranklinCounty
where his will was filed in HamiltonTownship in 1806.His wife was Lettice LNU and children
were:John, Dorcas, Martha, Mary,
Lettice, Isabella.The 1790 census shows
him as having one son under 16.

In 1790, there is also a Mary Todd with a son under 16 in FranklinCounty.This Mary is assumed to be the wife on an unknown brother of the
Cumberland/Franklin Co Henry.

This family may have some relation to the Cumberland County
Todds:Naomi Todd (1790), Naomi and
George (1800), Naomi and Isaac (1810).

Lancaster

There were four or five Todd families in early Lancaster:

Samuel,
John and James Todd all settled in the same area of HanoverTownship
in what later became Dauphin Co..Samuel and John appear as neighbors on a deed in 1749, but
migrated to North Carolina
in the 1750s.James 1717-1783
remained in the area.This family
is discussed in detail elsewhere.

Hugh
Todd who died a single man in Coleraine Twp, Lancaster Co in 1772, the
son of James Todd of East Nottingham Twp, Chester Co who died just before
Hugh.(Contrary to published
sources, this Hugh was not the father of the Hanover Twp Todds.)

John
Todd b ca 1765 who married Mary Eberman ca 1785 (dau of John Eberman, a
clock maker) and lived in Lancaster Boro.The geographic fate of this family is unclear to me, but he had a
large family.He appears in the
1790 census in Lancaster Boro and in the 1810 census for Manheim
Twp.His son David may be the
David b 1793 in the East Lampeter Twp census in 1850; his son Thomas may
be the Thomas of Mt Joy in 1820 who buys land from Mary Todd, possibly
his mother.

Between
1782 and 1800, a William Todd of Ireland
b prior to 1755 settled in HempfieldTownship.He had 6 sons and 2 daughters in 1800.It appears that William Sr died not
long after this, because he does not appear in the 1810 census.In 1810, there is a younger William (b
1765-1784 according to the 1810 census and born 1782 according to the
1850 censsu) who is probably his son because appearing with him are
children the right ages to be the sons of the older William.Both a William and a James Todd
(shoemaker) were listed as taxable inhabitants of Columbia in 1814/1815.William was listed as shoemaker (1808,
1810), lumber merchant (1812) and tanner (1817).He remained in Columbia until after 1830, but bought
land in York Co 1829-1833, and then moved to Creagerstown, Frederick Co,
MD by 1840 and appears in the 1850 census there.James Todd shoemaker of Columbia
bought and sold land in Hempfield Twp (Columbia) in 1813 and Springville
(Donegal or Mt Joy Twp) in 1814.Fate uncertain.

By
1800, James Todd b abt 1782 Ireland settled in Rapho Twp where
he died in 1852.This seems to be a different James Todd
than the James Todd shoemaker of Columbia.James of Rapho could be one of the sons
of the older William Todd who settled in Hempfield.

A
James Todd appears in the 1800, 1810, and 1820 census of Lancaster Boro.

I suspect that Anos/Enos Todd b 1801-04 (Blue Ball, Earl
Twp, Lancaster Co 1840,1850,1860) and Ralph Todd b 1809 (1840 East
Hempfield, 1850 Eliz Twp) are both sons of William, but have only
geography to connect them.The other
brothers seem to have left the area – fate unknowns.

There are three phases of
settlement of Todds in Chester Co – one in the 1710s, another in the period
between 1755 and 1768, and a later phase after the revolution.

Phase I

In the first phase came James and
John Todd in the 1710s – James and John Todd both appearing on a will of
Richard Mason in 1714 – James as executor and John as witness.

By 1719, both James and John
appear on a tax list for New Garden Twp.

By 1723, James had bought land on
“White Clay Creek below New Garden” adjacent to lands of John Cain and appears
on tax lists from 1718 to 1750 (1718 in Kennett Twp, 1719-1722 in New Garden,
1724-1750 in London Grove Twp).James
disappeared from the tax lists after 1750 and is assumed, based on the 1767
estate settlement for James Todd in YorkCounty, to be the James Todd who shows
up in NewberryTownshipYorkCounty in 1753 and dies
there in 1767.This James had married
Ann Cain sometime after 1721 and later married Hannah LNU.By his second wife, he had sons James
(1750-1829), William (b1752) and Joseph (1757-1793).His son James died in 1829 Newberry Twp and this
son in turn had a son James b 1794-1802 who administered his estate in 1829 and
sold property there in 1831.

John Todd appeared also in NewGarden
1718-1722, and then 1724 to near his death in 1775 in New London.He reportedly married a Cain (possibly Margaret) by 1720.He got a patent in 1739 for land surveyed in
1720 by Joseph Hedges on WhiteClayCreek
in New LondonTownship.He
later married a Sarah LNU.

John was a Quaker.His son Robert went to York Co, md there in
1760 and died in 1767.Robert had a son
Robert b 1763 who was in York Co in 1790 and migrated to Rostraver Township,
Westmoreland Co by 1794. John’s son William went to Guilford Co, NC where he
married in 1765, went to Georgia
and then Ohio.John’s son John went to Philadelphia and was a school master there
until his death in the yellow fever epidemic of 1793.John’s son James was in New London tax lists 1755 to 1765.This James had a son William born 1765 to
1775.But the fate of this James and his
children is unknown.

Phase II

In the second phase, there were
two families that came to Chester Co

·the family of MaryTodd Lincoln consisting of Robert Todd
1697-1775 who settled in Pikeland Township in 1756 and then moved to
Philadelphia Co after his sons secured land grants there beginning 1760 and
Andrew Todd d 1791 who settled in East Whiteland Township, Chester Co by 1760

·a James Todd settled in EastNottinghamTownship in the SW corner
of Chester Co by 1765 and died there in 1772.East Nottingham township was only a few
miles from Bart Township, Lancaster Co where a Thomas McClure was born in 1764,
son of Elizabeth Todd and John McClure, whose family migrated to Mecklenburg
Co, NC by 1767.This suggests a possible connection of the
East Nottingham PA Todd family with the Mecklenburg NC Todd family.

Phase III

In the third phase, some of the
children and grandchildren of the above two families continued to live in Chester, but other
families either came to settle or passed through the county.

In the northeast of the county,
Andrew Todd d 1791 moved west to BedfordCounty and sold his East
Whiteland land in 1778 to his nephew Robert Todd 1732-1816.Robert and his descendants thereafter
appeared in that portion of Chester.

In the southwest of the county,
James d 1772 left sons John, James and Hugh.James’ son Hugh died a few months later than his father in nearby
Coleraine Township, Lancaster Co.; James’ son John appears to have moved to
Honeybrook Township by 1790 and West Nantmell Twp by 1800 where he died in 1809
and left a large number of descendants; James’
son James appears in the tax lists for East Nantmell in 1774, 1775, 1780 and
West Nantmell in 1785.He is probably
the James who with wife Susannah buys and sells property in the Nantmells 1774
to 1780.James and Susannah are
mentioned in a land record in 1789 and they are mentioned as friends to Marian
Smyth in East Whiteland Twp in 1803.He
perhaps is the James Todd and wife in the East Whiteland
1800 census (both over 45=>bpr to 1755).

John Todd d 1809 left sons John
(deceased by 1809), James and William.John’s
son John had moved to Washington
County, PA (along
with his sister Margaret (Todd) Snodgrass) and died there in 1809, just before
his father.John’s son James appears to
have continued to live in the Nantmells until his death (after 1850) and his
descendants lived in the Nantmells, Honeybrook, UchlanTownships.James’ son William appears in the 1820 census
for West Nantmell with two sons b 1810-1820,
fate unknown.He seems to have died in1826.

There were some passersbys
also.a Samuel Todd appeared in East
Nantmell in 1774 and 1780 (possibly the Samuel who died in 1803); a David Todd
appears in East Caln in 1781 owning 200 acres.

And there were newcomers:

·Dr. William A. Todd b 1762 of Bucks Co,son of
Joseph Todd 1734-1775, married Ann Downing of Downington, East
Caln, bought property there in 1798, and died there about 1809,
but leaving no children.

·William Todd 1791-1824 seems to have come from
near the Delaware/ Pennsylvania border, marrying Rebecca
Twaddell before 1809 (birth of his oldest son Charles Twaddell Todd 1809).His father was James Todd who died in Kennett
Twp in 1820 and his mother was “Biddy” Todd who was still alive in 1821.He reportedly had a mill in Centreville, New
Castle Co, Delaware
as did the Twaddells.His father appears
in the tax list of Kennett Twp in 1805.In 1810, William was living in East Marlborough Twp (on land of his
Twaddell in-laws) and the census suggests his father was living with him.In 1816, he bought two parcels of land in
Kennett Twp for $11,000, which he mortgaged in 1819 to secure an annuity for
his father James.He died in nearby Pennsbury
Township, Chester Co, PA in 1824.His
family returned to DelawareCountyPA by
1830 and then to New Castle County,
Delaware by 1840.One branch of his descendants – Charles
Twaddell Todd – eventually settled in DrumoreTownship, LancasterCounty.Because of the DelawareCounty connection, this family may be
related to the George Todd who deserted the British army in 1777, lived in ChesterTownship,
Chester Co in 1785 and Chester Township, Delaware
County in 1790.

·William Todd married Mary (Cloyd) Meredith, a
widow, and settled in WestWhitelandTownship
by 1779.Based on similarities of census
records with the William Todd ofEast Whiteland in 1790 and 1800 and Euchlan in 1810, it
appears he had a son and daughter by 1790 who died before 1800 and he had a
daughter born just after 1800 and one born. 1800-1810.Origins uncertain, but not the York Co
William son of James d pr to 1779 or the William, son of John d 1809 of Chester
Co.He may be the William Todd whose
estate was administered by John Ervin in 1834 in PikelandTownship.It is unclear if this is the William, son of
John d 1809 East Nantmell.

Joseph Todd came from Eling, Southamptonshire,
England in 1698 and died in Philadelphia in 1699.His son Joseph moved to Bucks Co by 1701
though he died in Philadelphia in 1721 and his son Joseph settled in Bucks Co
where he died in1745; his son Thomas remained in Philadelphia where he died in
1732/3; his son Joshua died in Philadelphia after 1729 but his children were in
Easton, Northampton Co by 1761 and many moved on to Rowan Co, NC; his son Caleb
was in Bucks Co in 1743. His family was associated with the PennepackBaptistChurch in what became Lower Dublin
Twp, PhiladelphiaCounty.

William Todd and his assumed brother John Todd appear in the
Abington Presbyterian Church baptismal registers as fathers of children
1723-1738.However, they appear to have
lived in Somerset Co NJ 1735-1744 along with their brothers Robert, Andrew and
James.There is no record of their
actually living in PhiladelphiaCounty during this
era.William, Robert and John appear in
Hunterdon Co, NJ records in the 1740s or 1750s.William moved to Augusta Co, VA by 1750; Robert moved to PikelandTownship,
ChesterCounty by 1756; Andrew Todd moved to
Whiteland Township, Chester Co by 1760.

Phase II – 1750-1780

Robert Todd 1697-1775 settled in the Trappe are of ProvidenceTownship after his sons David and Robert
Jr secured grants there in 1760-1769.Robert d 1775 had a half-brother Andrew d 1791 who settled in Chester Co
by 1760.These brothers had come from Ireland to New Jersey
and then to Philadelphia
and Chester Co.

Alexander Todd/Todd married Mary Sharp in the City of Philadelphia in 1770.He was a merchant and had business dealings
in Pennsylvania, Maryland
and Sussex Co, NJ and was still listed in the Philadelphia census in 1810.He had a brother William who lived in
Gloucester Co, NJ (just down river from Philadelphia).Alexander had a son William Hepburn Todd who
married Mary Campbell in Philadelphia
in 1795; he had a dau Elizabeth Tod who married John Otto in 1802.William H Tod had children:Helen C., Mary md Edmund Wilcox, Oliver,
Alexander, Samuel Beynard, Edward Karp.

John Todd abt 1736-1793, son of John Todd the Quaker, d 1775
New London, Chester Co, moved to Philadelphia
and served as a school master by 1769.His son, the Quaker lawyer, John md Dolly Payne and after John Jr.s
death in 1793, Dolly married John Madison who later became President of the United States.Dolly used her position to get her nephews
commissions in the US Navy.

William Todd a coachmaker was in Phila. between 1774 and
1782 tax lists.He does not seem to
appear in the 1790 and 1800 census in Philadelphia.

John Todd, a brewer, appears in the tax lists in 1780and 1782.

A Moses Todd married Katherine Patterson (dau of Robert
Patterson of Dunlace, Co Antrim,
Ireland who
died 1772 in Phila) and had sons Daniel and Robert by 1772.

A Joseph Todd, a laborer, appears on the 1780tax list for Pasayunk Twp, and may be the Joseph
Todd who married Ann White in 1770 in St Pauls PE Church or the Joseph Todd who
married in 1788 in Third Presbyterian Church in Philadelphia to Barbara Elliott.

Phase III – Post-1780

An Elisha Todd, a carter, appears in the Northern Liberties
and files a will in 1810 with bequests to to the African Benevolent Association
of Bethell Church (where he is a member) and the AfricanMethodistEpiscoplaChurch called Bethell in Philadelphia.

The Todd family is of French
descent for their ancestors lived in Brittany
before emigrating to America.They first settled in LancasterCounty,
but in

1779, Robert Todd, the grandfather
of the late Robert

Pioneer Families 57

Sowers Todd and George Miller
Todd, came here and settled on a farm a mile and a half from Rostraver Post
Office, on part of which the old ConcordSchool stands. The farm
still belongs to the Robert Sowers Todd heirs. The first Robert Todd was a
Quaker. He was a miller as well as a farmer. It is highly probable that he once
operated the mill on Cedar Creek. There are many descendants of this family
still in the township.

CHAPTER XXX., BOROUGH OF COLUMBIA.*

The Methodist Church.— On the 13th
day of July, 1803, Samuel Wright gave Lot No. 160, as laid down on the plan of
"Old Columbia," which was the last number on the "plans"
and was situated at the south corner of Alley "K" and Fifth Street,
measuring forty-seven feet on Fifth Street, and extending along said alley two
hundred and thirty feet. This lot was conveyed to the following-named persons: (William
Todd), trustees.

On
the 10th day of August, 1832, Michael Elder and his wife, Charlotte,
conveyed to William Todd, …, trustees of the Methodist Episcopal Church,
forty-eight feet of ground fronting on Cherry Street, and extending north
along the east side of Third Street one hundred feet to a twelve-feet
wide alley. They erected upon this lot a brick building forty feet
fronting on Cherry Street,
and extending along Third
Street sixty feet, with a basement-room
under the entire building. A gallery ran around three sides. The pulpit
was at the northern end.

Public
Libraries.— On the 14th day of January, 1829, a number of prominent citizens
subscribed various sums to be expended in the purchase of books for the
mutual benefit of all those concerned in a library company to be
formed(William Todd was one of
subscribers.)

Tanneries.—
Samuel A. Atlee, son of Col. Samuel John Atlee, erected a tannery on
Shawanese Run near the Lancaster turnpike in 1798, which he sold to
William Todd a few years later.

In
1814, at a reorganization of the company, the following persons were
enrolled as members: (James Todd)

Will

and set aside 30 June 1852, this would identify the residences of the

LancasterCountyDeed Abstracts

William
Todd: several deeds of William Todd involved purchase and sale of land in
Columbia, Hempfield Twp, between 1808 and
1833, one of which involved a tract adjacent to the Susquehanna
River.He is referred
to as shoemaker, cordwainer, lumber merchant, tanner.(He is listed in the 1850 census in
Frederick Co, MD as born 1782 in Ireland.)

James
Todd, shoemaker of Columbia, bought and
sold land in Columbia
in 1813 and in Springville (Mt Joy or Donegal Twp) in 1814.Neither of two sales deeds mentions a
wife.

Mary
Todd of Mt Joy, widow, bought a lot in Mt Joy, Donegal Twp, I 1833 and
sold it the same year to Thomas Todd, presumably her son.(It is not clear if she is the widow of
James Todd of Columbia
or not.)

Thomas
Todd and Susanna his wife sold a lot in 1844 in Columbia on Union St which Susanna as a widow purchased
back in 1863.This is for part of
a lot frontingon Union Street
in Columbia,
between lots 1, 2 and 3 for which no record of purchase by Thomas is
listed in the index.James Todd of
Columbia had purchased Lot # 9 sold half
of Lot # 4 on Union Street.I suspect that Thomas inherited the
lot from James and therefore the 1844 deed should be checked.However, the absence of a wife for
James makes Thomas not likely to be a son of James and therefore could be
a son of William.The census of
1850 and 1860 should be checked for Susanna,Further research in court records is
needed.

Mary
in the Mt Joy deed above could be the widow of John Todd of Lancaster Boro and Thomas could therefore be their son
in which case we would have two
Thomas Todds to deal with.

Centreville,
new Castle Co, Delaware

Centreville is the most important. It has a very pleasant location, on the
Kennett Pike, seven miles from Wilmington,
on a tract of land said to be the highest in the State. There are a number of
fine residences, a good public hall, several stores and an inn. In the locality
are houses of worship belonging to the Friends and the Presbyterians, and some
old mansions, on highly improved farms, this being one of the richest sections
of the hundred.

Centreville was an active business point sixty years ago, and had in 1821 a
good store, kept by James Delaplaine, who prospered there as a merchant.
William Todd and Ezekiel Bailey each had good inns; and there were mechanics of
all kinds, among them being John McCullough, blacksmith; Benjamin Hollingsworth
and Bernard Dalton, carpenters; Joseph Hollingsworth, wheelwright; John
Kitchen, stone mason; Levi Walker and Henry Jeffers, farmers; and George
Matson, drover.

The inns were taxed to their uttermost to accommodate all the guests, as
many as fifty teams stopping in one night. Liquor was freely used, and also
sold at the store to the extent of a wagon-load per week. The Bailey stand has
been discontinued, but where William and (later) Rebecca Todd entertained the
public, stands a hotel remodeled and enlarged by James Lancaster. An early
innkeeper at this place was a member of the Twaddle family. Near the State line
Charles Twaddle was the keeper of a public house, which has long since been
closed, but was a long time famous as the "Delaware and Pennsylvania Inn."

Be

My
will is and I do hereby order that all my just debts and funeral expenses be
fully paid and satisfied.

furniture and all my silver plate and plated ware except as is herein after
bequeathed to others, also my horse and riding chair and harness and the cart

Item

owner of by virtue of the last will of my much respected Uncle William Tod of
Waterford Township, Goucester County and State of New Jersey together with my
gold or diamond rings or trinkets devised under the same will and I do give to
her the sum of five hundred dollars to be paid to her by my executors as soon
as may be after my debts are paid and discharged.

Item

portrait of her mother painted by Sully.

Item
I do hereby give and bequeath my son Oliver Tod the portraits of my late
respected Uncle William Tod and his wife Rachel painted by Sully and also one

Item
I do hereby give and bequeath to my son Edward Karp Tod the other half of my
library or libraries (my law books excepted) in which bequest to my son Edward
I desire that my copy of Rees Encyclopedia may be included and that the same
may be bound in Sheep in a plain but substantial manner at the expense of my
estate and as my son Oliver may be absent by reason of his profession, my will
is that the first choice or selection of my books shall be made by Edward.

That
my executors shall have the books inventoried and separately appraised so that
the value of each may be ascertained and that according to such appraisement
shall the proportion of each of my said sons be fixed.

I
also give to my said son Edward my Mathematical Instruments contained in it--I
mean the green (____) Shagreen case--and also confirm to him the gift I
made him some years ago of my Solar Microscope and the mahogony desk and wardrobe
given him about the same time.

acres he purchased in Waterford
and Gloucester townships, then embraced in the
boundary of old GloucesterCounty. He acquired this
area from Richard Heritage. The land was on both sides of the south branch of
Cooper's Creek and extended around the old White Horse Tavern, familiar to many
along the White Horse Pike.

Another deal by William Matlack involved 200 acres from John
Estaugh as attorney for John Haddon. Richard Matlack was given this tract, in
1721, the year he married Rebecca Haines.\

This site has been alternately set down on maps of Waterford, Delaware and Cherry Hill townships. It is here that the family graves
are located.

The 1500 Matlack acres remained in the family for about 60
years.

Extending on both sides of the Moorestown
and Woodbury road, the land is far too high in value to be purchased by a
worker in modern agriculture. William Todd was listed as the owner of the Cherry Hill section of the estate in 1779.
